CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Sodium perchlorate appears as white crystalline solid. Noncombustible but will accelerate the burning of combustible materials. If large quantities are involved in a fire or the combustible material is finely divided, an explosion may result. Prolonged exposure to fire or heat may result in an explosion. Used in chemical analysis and in explosives. |
